From "Laughter Never Gets Old"...

I was listening to some rap music this afternoon.

Not that I had a choice...it was coming out of a jeep 4 miles away.

Oh, that brings back memories....

So, one summer night while in college, I was trying to sleep and had the window open. I noticed that someone was booming
Michael Jackson somethere. It wasn't uncommon in a college town to have someone playing their stereo loud (and this was 1985,
so Michael Jackson wasn't that uncommon either).

But I noticed that it was getting louder. Now that was weird. Usually stereos (ones played **that** loud) are not mobile.
I thought that the guy had actually turned up his volume for some reason.

But it kept getting louder.

Then the pizza delivery guy pulls up in front of our building and the driver opens the door.

Wow! It was loud. I mean ear hurting loud.

So he delivered the pizza and left, the music slowly faded away as he drove away.

One more thing: The windows of his car were closed. He had his stereo so loud that, through closed windows, we could hear his
music a mile away.

Ron,

He's probably going deaf. Plus, the vibrations of it being from a car
next to mine at a red light, makes me wonder if the car is going to shale apart, or if an earthquake has started.

... It's 10:00pm. Do you know where your daughter is?

Really. It reminds me of an old "Wizard Of Id" comic strip, that said
"It's 11pm. Do you know where your grandmother is??"...and you see her
going into a late night bingo hall!! <G>

Quoting Daryl Stout to All <=-

I was listening to some rap music this afternoon.

Not that I had a choice...it was coming out of a jeep 4 miles away.

College memory:
On one of the few hot nights when I was in college, I was trying to
sleep next to the open window. I could hear someone playing some
Michael Jackson - not uncommon in a college town at that time.

But it seemed to be getting louder over time - which was wierd. Soon it
was getting loud enough to disturb me getting to sleep.

As I was cursing the inconsiderate person who lived in my apartment
complex for turning up his stereo, the delivery car from the Pizza Joynt
pulls up across the street.

As the guy gets out, I'm hit with a tidal wave of audio - Michael
Jackson.

This was the source of the sound and it was clearly audible, with his
windows up, miles away.

To this day, I wonder if he ever had to leave college due to hearing
loss.

Your poor ears. . . :(

An old fave of mine; no idea who wrote it:

Rindercella
Spoonerism retelling of Cinderella fairy tale
Once upon a time in a coreign fountry, there lived a geautiful birl, and her name was
Rindercella. Now Rindercella lived with her mugly other and two sad blisters. Also, in this
same coreign fountry, there lived a very pransome hince, and this pransome hince was
going to have a bancy fall, and he’d invited people for riles amound, especially the pich
reople. Rindercella’s mugly other and her two sad blisters went to town to
buy some drancy
fesses for the bancy fall, but Rindercella couldn’t go ‘cause all she had to wear were some
old rirty dags. Finally the night of the bancy fall arrived, and Rindercella couldn’t go, so she
just cat down and sried. She was sitting there srying when all of the sudden there
appeared before her, her gairy modfather, and he touched her with his wagic mand. and
there appeared before her a kig boach and hix white sorses to take her to the bancy fall,
and he said ­ “Rindercella, be sure and be home before midnight, or I’ll purn you into a
tumpkin!” When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, this prandsome hince
met her at the
door because he had been watching all this time behind a hidden window. Rindercella and
the prandsome hince nanced all dight. And they lell in fove. And all at once, the mid clock
struck night. And Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just as she beached the rottom,
she slopped her dripper! The next day, this pransome hince went all over this coreign
fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. They finally came to
Rindercella’s house, and he tried it on the mugly other, and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on
the two sisty uglers, and it fidn’t dit, and then he tried it on Rindercella, and it fid dit. It was
exactly the sight rize! And so they were married and lived heavenly after happily.
Now the storal of the mory is: if you go to a bancy fall and you want a pransome hince to lall
in fove with you ­­don’t forget to slop your dripper!

This has been all too common for some time now. I don't recall when, but not
in the 1970s or early '80s, for sure. . .

I once heard, on a street with a lot of people, mixed sexes & ages, a convertible blasting "kill your moth, kill your mother, kill your mother
dead" & the 3rd or 4th repetition ended with "kill your f*cking mother"

Another bad one, was in a family project; teen girl had 2 Live Crew blasting from speaker in bedroom window, facing street, one of their songs involving graphic description of beating & raping his **** (one or both of the two
words boys use for girls so uncharmingly, in crap music); little 3yo girls lisdtening t7o this pure garbage.

Ok, I was old (22 or 23) but that wasn't it; this really WAS pure filth & bad music, & an example of youth (she was 14, maybe) gone wild. . .

I cranked music, too, as a teen, but I was in the country, far from everyone,
& my music had songs like "Defenders of the Faith"(Judas Priest)...

I once walked a mile out from home & was still not to the nearest store, & could hear my music still, but the nearest people were another mile forward.
I lost track of the sound before I got there. . .

This was using a concert amp-speaker case with 6 amps & speakers in it; so today they have better tech & can do bigger than this volume from a basic stereo. . .

Q: What do you call a group of deaf people?
A:I don't know. But it is definitely not herd.

Going to a rock concert is a near-deaf experience

When I told my mate I was going deaf, he asked, “what are the symptoms?”
I said, “they’re a yellow cartoon family with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie”

When you see a deaf couple holding hands, maybe it's not a romantic
gesture...
Maybe, they just want each other to shut the heck up.

I said to my kids, "Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do! Take Beethoven for example. They told him he could not be a musician because he
was deaf!"
"But he didn't listen!"

To this day, I wonder if he ever had to leave college due to hearing
loss.
